The thing about vacuums. The cordless ones don't suck hard enough to really get the dirt, and are bad at edge cleaning. Robots, who knows when they're deciding to start vacuuming, and then they often get stuck on shit. So the corded canister is still the best for suction, but they are heaviest also.

Postmedia is a problem! Please sign this petition to ask the House of Commons to require that Canadian news outlets be majority owned by actual Canadians, not American hedge funds with foreign enemy interests.

Plastic surgery and injectables are everywhere. But MAGA appears to have embraced these techniques with a strange and brutal force. The resulting look is stagecraft for a political ideology hellbent on cruelty.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone. Don't fall for it.

It's not Chuck Schumer's fault his whole media vibe is "capitulation addict" but it is the fault of the caucus for not seeing that the times call for an emergency substitution. Someone that conveys "smart, but tough" opposition, ideally.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

1. Rob Anderson: Exec Director for Smith, & family runs a charter school
2. UCP MLA Rajan Sawhney: Her kid served on a charter board
3. Failed UCP candidates Caylan Ford & Lisa Davis: Both run charter schoolsShe was gifted 118 million for a private school. Meanwhile, our kids are going to school with up to 40 kids in theirWebber Academy, which charges more than $18,000 in tuition, and receives over $7,500 per student in subsidies from the #UCP government is getting an additional $330,750 through the federal grant.
There are still public school classes more than 35 students.The UCP panel tasked with reviewing Alberta's curriculum includes no current K-12 teachers. But worry not, it does include an American academic who praises elite private schools and is funded by the Koch Foundation.

Caylan Ford founded a charter school called Classical Academy, describes herself as a specialist in Bio-Politics and thinks Pride Parades are a problem. Without reading her texts fearing for the future of the White Race, and Western Culture, that seems awfully WN-coded. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs. Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker. Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps. Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

A freedom-loving people will not stand for the corruption and the power grabs we’re witnessing daily in our country. That's why millions of Americans took to the streets a few days ago, and it's why elections like the Virginia governor race will show the path to a better future a few days from now.
